Magnetic Lunch Chart

As kids everywhere gather their school supplies parents are racking their brains for ways to pack balanced and varied lunches. This magnetic lunch chart from Martha Stewart could help.

By inviting kids to participate in their lunch planning and preparation, families can avoid drama and pack lunches that their children will actually eat. Printable files and instructions are available here at MarthaStewart.com We really like this idea and think that the addition of photographs would be useful for younger kids and make the chart more visually engaging. Pictures would also make it easier for parents and children to fill lunchboxes with colorful fruits and vegetables.
